Hi,
Is it possible to use the pdf generator without Pier? -> creating pdfs from smalltalk? Could that be an alternative to Artefact?
For pdf it does Pier -> Latex -> PDF But PDF generation there are options: Artefact, for Pharo and the right thing for report generation: http://astares.blogspot.fr/2012/04/oliver-created-pdf-framework-for-pharo.ht... PDF4Smalltalk. This is for VisualWorks and a very complete PDF implementation: https://gitorious.org/pdf4smalltalk
Greetings Sabine

Two questions: - How do I use it? - How are you generating the PDF?
Cheers, Doru

Stéphane and I have been working on Gutemberg, a tool that converts books written using the Pier syntax to PDF documents and HTML pages.
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DamienCassou/Pier-Gutemberg
This project is partially supported by ESUG http://www.esug.org/.
We are proud to announce the first alpha version of Gutemberg. This alpha version has a nearly-complete PDF exporter and a basically-working HTML exporter.
We use Inria infrastructure to build one example book: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/.
The long term goal is to facilitate collaborative book editing. We don't want to impose a web browser and an active Internet connection.
